Giacomo’s is a personal favorite

Third vote for Giacomo’s, or Coltivare (more rustic Italian and seasonal though).

"coming from boston" how pretentious.

Cavatore is fine. Rivas is "cheap italian" but it's not cheap (i.e., reminds me of the cheap lunch spots in CT).

North Italia is a chain but it's not bad. More Chicago Italian than MA/CT.

Go to Rivas for the experience- any time I bring ppl to town it’s a hit

Food is good and big, wine is fine and big pours. Atmosphere is amazing vibes (as long as they’re not anti-gay) it’s our fav spot. Power move to not try to one up with the best Italian ever- that’s a tough sell. Also coltivare is a sweet spot with good vibes

Marmo is pretty good and so is Passerella.

Marmo is pretty good and so is Passerella. I have heard Porta Vino is good.

What did you decide OP?
